[MUSIC] Welcome to Module 4 of this course, K-12 Blended and Online Learning. In this module, you'll gain foundational knowledge about current technology for effective K-12 blended online instruction. First, to get started I'll introduce you to Learning Management Systems. We'll discuss what they offer and what options might be available to you. Second, we'll talk about some alternatives to learning management systems that are free and work great for the blended classroom. Third, we'll talk about learning objects. We'll address how to find them and how to judge their value. Fourth, finally you'll participate in a discussion and take an exam to assess your learning. This exam will cover part one of this course, which includes the four modules you've completed so far. Finally, you'll also complete a self-assessment based on the Quality Online Teaching Standards. You've completed this self-assessment once before, don't worry. This self-assessment is not counted for a grade. This is only an introductory course and mastery of these standards takes time and experience. I really hope that you'll be able to say that you've grown in your knowledge of k12 online teaching since you started this course. And if you stick with me for the second part of this course in modules five, six and seven, you'll get to put some of this knowledge into practice. [MUSIC]
